USC Gould offers convenient, private, secure and fully furnished graduate student housing at a competitive monthly rate. Our housing complex is located close to campus, just a short walk from the law school. Family housing units also are available on a limited basis.
If you opt to live in university housing, you will enter into a 9-month contract, allowing you to move into your apartment in early August, a few weeks before the start of classes in the fall, and stay through our commencement ceremony in May.
View our housing flyer for more information about university housing.
Graduate student housing is very limited for students entering in the spring but may be available. Admitted spring students may inquire with our office if they are interested in submitting a Housing application.
Housing Application
You can apply to live on USC campus housing by completing the housing application.
Summer Housing
We offer separate summer housing if you enroll in our Summer Law and English intensive. You may apply by completing the summer housing application and submitting it to the Graduate & International Programs office by June 1. If you applied for campus housing for the LLM year, you will be able to transition into your apartment as units become ready in August.
USC Housing Stipends
Students who apply by our priority deadline will be automatically considered for our USC housing stipend, which is available in varying amounts. Housing stipends are credited to students' USC accounts and therefore may be used toward their on campus or off campus housing, or toward their tuition and fees.
As with our merit scholarships, you do not need to submit a separate application to be eligible. Students may receive both a merit scholarship and the USC housing stipend, if they apply by our priority deadline.
